[How To] Reinstall Android After Trying Ubuntu Touch

So you installed Ubuntu Touch, grappled with its gestures, but now want to reinstall Android on your Nexus device – but how do you do it?

Whatever the reason you want to return to the familiarity and functionality of Android – and, yes, WhatsApp withdrawal, Intagram-itis, or the Snapseed shakes are all legitimate reasons – we’re here to talk you through how to do it.

Now, before you read on it’s important to note that this is the ‘nuclear reinstall’ option. It’s ideal for those who didn’t make a back-up of their device before switching to Ubuntu Touch Preview, or those who did, but want a totally blank slate from which to start from.

If you made a back-up of your Android device prior to installing Ubuntu Touch then kudos. Refer to the apps website for reinstallation instructions.
